Javanese Dinner image

This recipe came from my sister (a Home Economics teacher as they were called back in the 60's and 70's). It is as much fun as it is delicious. You line up all of the ingredients on a buffet or counter and then, adding them one by one in order, build a 14 layer dinner! This is written for 6 servings, but can be increased to serve any size crowd! The sizes are approximates since you can add more or less of each layer as you prefer. She would say you can only leave out 2 layers, but I am more flexible! : ) If this is for a party where your guests ask, "what can I bring",have them bring prepared ingredients in serving bowls and your prep time is now next to nothing!

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 dinners, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups cooked rice, served hot (1/2 cup cooked rice per serving)
2 cups chopped cooked chicken, served hot
2 cups chow mein noodles
2 cups gravy (gravy recipe ( 2 cans cream of chicken soup mixed with one can of water and heated through)
2 tomatoes, sliced
1 1/2 cups celery, chopped
1 1/2 cups green peppers, chopped
1 1/2 cups onions, chopped
20 ounces crushed pineapple, well drained
2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
2 cups gravy (same recipe as above)
1 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1 cup flaked coconut
6 maraschino cherries

Steps:

  • Line up the above ingredients, in given order, in serving bowls on a counter or buffet table. Your guests take a plate and begin building their "dinner" using the rice as the base, sprinking on as much or little of each layer, finishing with a cherry on top! We were always encouraged to try every layer, leaving off no more than 2 in case there is something you are allergic to or just do not like. It is amazing how good this is and fun to make.
